Game of Thrones: King of Harrenhal, starting with a blue hand stat panel

"Ha ha ha ha!" King Robert laughed and joked at the banquet, completely unconcerned.

The bride and groom looked embarrassed and forced smiles.

Mace Tyrell, Renly Baratheon, and Edmure Tully were all laughing and enjoying their food.

Only the world where Stannis and his wife were injured was complete.

Stannis and Celis's relationship was just so-so.

Celeste was plain-looking, and Stannis was a strict person who wasn't very interested in her.

"Lord Stannis will not be pleased," Ser Lucas Dayne whispered to Arthur Hoan.

Marriage is essentially an exchange of value.

The marriage arranged by Jon Arryn was very clever.

This move also reflects a precaution against Stannis.

Florence was only a long-established minor lord in the Reach, and he was also at odds with House Tyrell.

The Florentine family firmly believed that they had a higher priority in the inheritance rights than other families and were more entitled to inherit the High Court.

Therefore, the Florentine family often complained and questioned the monarch's ruling position.

Stannis's marriage partner was merely the daughter of the deceased third brother of Earl Alistair Florence, from a collateral branch of the family.

With two sons-in-law, Earl Hightower and Earl Talley, why would the Earl fully support Stannis?

This farce has further embarrassed Stannis.

"How so?" Arthur glanced at the platform.

Even the power circles where important figures reside are riddled with cracks.

The alcoholic King Robert, the angry bridegroom Stannis, and the helpless old Lord Arryn—what a perfect match!

There were also two hostile feudal lords on the stage.

Mace Tyrell, Duke of Highgarden, and the Earl of Brightwater.

The Earl of Florence might actually be pleased with Robert and Deline's scandalous affair.

Delinea is also from a collateral branch of the Florentine family, so the marriage alliance is not of great value.

"Enjoy the fine wine and food!" The messenger blew the trumpet, and a "toot-toot-toot" sound rang out.

"Cheers!" "Cheers!"

The first course at Stannis's wedding was a thick soup of mushrooms, served in a gilded bowl, to warm the stomach before the wine.

"It tastes good." Arthur took a bite, then decided to eat first.

Anyway, Robert has already messed up this marriage, so we should still go ahead and eat the expensive meal.

After the wine glasses were filled, the second course was served: cakes filled with pork, pine nuts, and eggs.

"To celebrate the wedding of Duke Stannis Baratheon and Miss Celeste Florence, please enjoy the music," the heralds announced as the singers took the stage.

The musicians began to perform, playing the most vulgar music imaginable.

King Robert liked it, and everyone else liked it too.

"A bear and a beautiful girl!"

"I slept with the wife of a Dornish man!"

"The Virgin, the Virgin Mary and the Old Nanny" pleases the seven gods; while "My Beloved Wife" ignites the romantic fire in the hearts of young men and women.

Arthur ate sweet corn chips, a baked oat bread with chopped dates, apples, and oranges, and lobster meat.

Next, the dishes were served faster and faster, and the performances became more and more numerous.

After drinking too much wine, the servants brought out bowls of light food, including beef soup and large pieces of chicken stewed in boiling wine with honey and white almonds.

Arthur was also very popular at the wedding.

He was the heir to a wealthy and powerful lord, and he was also making a name for himself in the martial arts arena.

"Little Bat, don't forget to collect your armory. Ser Barristan will take you there," Robert said to Arthur, burping.

"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty," Arthur quickly thanked Robert.

"You are a strong boy, Master Arthur. You are sure to achieve even greater honors," Earl Randall said in a very friendly manner.

"Thank you for your praise, Lord Randall." Arthur clinked glasses with the stern Randall.

Randy didn't bring his Valyrian steel greatsword Heartshatter with him at this time; he probably left it somewhere else, since it would interfere with drinking.

There are four famous greatswords in Westeros.

Three Valyrian steel swords: Heartbreaker, Icebreaker, and Vanishing Light.

The fourth weapon is Dawn, which is comparable to the Vaal Steel Greatsword.

There are also Arthur's new buddies on the field: Donald, Jasper, Justin, Richard, and Irem Floren.

Justin and Richard were both heavy drinkers and easily knocked out Donald and Jasper.

The group chatted and laughed, behaving as well as half-brothers.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" the lords greeted Stannis.

The groom gave a stiff return gift.

Stannis is not as good-looking as Da Lu or San Lu, and he doesn't have that innate affability.

He was indifferent, and neither nobles nor commoners could evoke any genuine affection from him.

"Time to cut the pie!" Duke Stannis and Lady Celeste entered.

The large pie was carried slowly into the long hall by six cheerful chefs.

Everyone stood up, cheering and clinking glasses.

The pie was large in diameter, golden brown in color, with a crisp crust, and inside came the sounds of birds screeching, fluttering, and playing.

Stannis and his wife raised their knives together, and then seventy-seven white doves flew out from them.

The pigeons flew in all directions, eventually flapping their wings and landing on the windows and roof beams, leaving the air filled with scattered feathers.

Cheers erupted in the hall, and the violins and bagpipes in the audience played lively tunes.

Stannis picked up the bride and spun her around, feigning happiness.

After the big pie was cut, the lewd songs and lascivious tunes were finished.

The band picked up their flutes, bass drums, and violins again and sang, "The queen takes off her shoes, the king discards his crown."

"Get in bed! Get in bed! Let's make a ruckus in the wedding night!"

The guests flocked to the high platform, with the most intoxicated leading the way.

Men, young and old, surrounded Mrs. Celeste and lifted her into the air, while women and girls grabbed Stannis and undressed him.

Finally, they were led to the bridal chamber.

The most vulgar weddings include undressing and dirty jokes.

However, both Stannis and his wife were strict people, so no one went too far.

The bridal suite might still carry the scent of Robert and Delina, but a new set of photos will be used.

The bride and groom were escorted out of the hall, followed by a large group of nobles, and the banquet ended.

Arthur also got up and left. Although the farce was over, the rift it created would last forever.

Fortunately, weddings nowadays are still normal weddings, and they haven't degenerated into the kind of "red weddings" that will happen in the future.

Come quickly to get married; there's no need to wear armor.

...

The next day, the weather was sunny and the waves were not large.

After the wedding on Dragonstone, the princes, who were drunk the day before, left in an orderly fashion.

"Thank you all for coming!" Stannis said coldly as he saw the guests off at the dock.

Those who remained on the island, besides the newlyweds, included the bride's second uncle, Sir Jasel Florence, and the bride's cousin, Deline.

Ser Yasser Florent will remain at Dragonstone to assist Stannis.

Stannis was never known for his affability, and no one held it against him.

Longshi Island is desolate and remote, with a generally poor living environment.

Adding to the awkwardness of the wedding was the scandal involving Robert and Delina.

Arthur remained aboard the Lyanna the Maiden and returned to King's Landing first.

When Arthur arrived, he was unremarkable.

When Arthur left, he had already earned his name through his outstanding performance in the Dragonstone Squire Tournament.

The young chosen warrior's skills were astonishing, and no one could rival him.

This is a completely different story from the previous image of the Riverlands Knights, who were all dejected and defeated.

There are so many young spectators at this game, and the singers will also be performing for it.

Before long, the story of the "Bat Rider" will be circulating throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

Arthur Hoan arrives in King's Landing as a guest of the king, his target being the king's armory.
